Hearts For Hearts Girls Dolls Are Back This Holiday Season @HFHGirls #HolidayGiftGuide #ad #Giveaway #HeartsforHeartsGirls

11/15/16

I received a Hearts for Hearts Girls doll for review. Are opinions are mine.

Do you remember Hearts for Hearts Girls dolls from a few years back? I was sad when I heard that they were being discontinued and no longer sold at Target. We reviewed Hearts for Hearts Girls Consuelo in our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide and I was really impressed. There are lots of dolls out there, but not many that are culturally diverse and representing other countries. I am so excited to tell you that these dolls are back this holiday season!

Hearts for Hearts Girls are 14 inch dolls thathave their own story about how they positively impact their community and empower girls to become agents of change. So far there are 10 dolls, each from different countries:

Dell - USA Appalachia

Nahji - India

Consuelo - Mexico

Rahel - Ethiopia

Lilian - Belarus

Zelia - Brazil

Tipi - Laos

Lauryce - USA New Orleans

Mosi - USA Native American

Shola - Afghanistan

Each doll has a story about overcoming adversity in their life and ideas for how to improve living conditions in their community. Their outfits reflect their region of the world. The dolls are being designed by the same original design team, but are now being sold online on Amazon and in specialty doll and toy stores.

Hearts for Hearts Girls are currently re-launching 4 dolls available for pre-order through Nov. 20th: Nahji,Rahel,Dell and Counsuelo. The rest of the dolls will release later in 2017.

AK was excited to choose 10 year old Nahji from Assam, India because one of her best friends is from India and she wants to learn more about the country and culture.

The box has an open flap so that you can see the doll and some information about her story. Her accessories include: a comb, small elastic hair band, a small book with her story, and a bracelet for your child to wear.

The book explains how Nahji's mother married at age 13 and never went to school. Nahji convinces her parents that she should go to to school while raising Runner ducks to sell eggs and ducks to contribute to her family.

My daughter was fascinated with Nahji's story and couldn't believe that Nahji had to work and go to school at the same time. She also learned quite a bit about henna {mehndi} and why they wear it in Indian culture (for good luck). AK is almost six and doesn't quite know where different countries are on the map, but she got the idea of how far away India is from the US. The book opens up some great discussions and is a great learning tool (I love toys that are also educational!).

Another learning tool is the new Hearts for Hearts Girls website. You can find background about each of the dolls (the 4 currently re-launching) as well as diary entries that give that girl's point of view. New games will be coming soon, which my daughter is really excited about!

Nahji has gorgeous features including long dark rooted hair, big brown eyes with amber tones, a nose stud, henna on her hand, and detailed clothing. She wears a fuscia tunic and lavender leggings with matching sandals. Her accessories include a braided choker, simulated pearl earrings, a matching pearl headband and gold toned bracelets which are all removable.

AK loves that Nahji can stand completely on her own and be put in various poses (and tilt her head). She also loves that long dark hair! We've braided it since opening the box to keep it more manageable since it tends to frizz. The bracelet is a fun accessory for girls to wear too.

She will give hours of imaginative play for children ages 6+.

Hearts for Hearts Girls are unique in that $1 from each doll goes to World Vision, a wonderful charitable organization that supports children across the globe.

Not only will your child receive a
gorgeous doll, but they will know that they are making a difference in
another child's life too. Some of that money may go toward malaria nets
in Africa, schoolbooks in Asia, or food supplies within the US to help
children thrive and succeed.

Don't you just love toys that have a positive message and give back? Hearts for Hearts Girls dolls are truly special and will make a great gift this holiday!

I really love them all and it would be heard to pick just one but I go with dell. and well if I was picked to get this I give it to my girl who's been wanting one since thay frist came out about 9 years ago.

My favorite doll from the collection is Shola. To find a doll with a story like hers, with a scarf, with appropriate clothing, it makes such a difference to my daughter. She is very young now, but the pressure begins when they are small, and finding toys, not just dolls, that don't reinforce some sort of 'feminine ideal' can be a challenge. I appreciate that these dolls bring reality and beauty together in a force for good, and allow picky moms like myself to feel comfortable that we are spending our money on a product that makes a real difference. <3<3<3 Hearts for Hearts Girls.

I love Dell - she is so down to earth and I love that she knits hats for elderly neighbors. She reminds me of my 5 yr old granddaughter who has the kindest heart (her late granddad - my husband - grew up in a mining town). She would fall in love with Dell!

Welcome to my attic!

Thanks for stopping by! I'm a busy former teacher {turned stay at home mom} on the hunt for ways to entertain my 3 kids. I love period dramas, all things Disney, and am passionate about getting kids interested in reading.

I enjoy writing about parenthood, entertainment, travel and local Philadelphia area attractions.

Things are quiet around here because, like you, I'm homeschooling my kids. Hope that you are doing well while we are stuck at ho...
